How frequently is il the case Tor young

there are many who get their heads

Of being numbered among tie most OK

called fast or rsre good fun. There are
many young married ladies who, wishing
10 be successful, aud admired, have a
strong sense of honor, if not strong
affection for their husbands, who
would not On any account cross
the line between right snd wrong.
i they are willing and anxious
10 receive the homage and open admire
NCI Of men, go that the world may see
that they are IN the fashion OF the pres
ent day of having men devoted to and
constantly dangling after them. These
foolish ones are content 10 do what is
considered the smart thing, knowing as

sCantal-moCg ering society VIII attribute
TO them The worst Of motives end class
them with those who do not run straight ;

It may seem conduct so extraordinary

ladies' should allow their vanity to OUT

would on no account go wrong, they

cot object to get the reputation for doing
What they would really scOrn to do; but
suCn Is the case. In society there ere
many young married lsdies who seem 10
think that their whole duties in life con-
eIsts in ''going out' IS much as possible,
and being as well ard extensively dress
ed as possible, no matter what their hus-
bands means may be and
what bills they may run up st
their dressmakers and miiliner5. They
are esten up entirely by the craze for So
CITY, Sct L does net seem 20 vnte- into
their brains that they have duties as wives
and mothers. Quiet evenings a. hons
with their husbands, who very likely have
been working hard al day, and have little
inclination for constantly going out 81
night, are "suCh 8 bore" to such as these
and the idea that they owe duty 10 theil
children, putting affection aside, enc
should be with them some part of the
daV, strikes them as Iudicrous and alb
surd. There are some even VITO openly
avow that they do not care a
sill for their children and tha
they are necessary evil. They
must be brought down for five minute:
by the nurses in the morning and after
that may be dismissed from thought FOL
the rest Of the day. When these young
people grow up and are in their turn be
ing taken out, their mothers are surprised
that they show little or no affection for
or obedience to them, forgetting entirely
that they themselves have failed to layisf
the ordinary care and love on their of
spring that the animals do. 1t not un-
frequently happens that woman ha:
married her husband without particle @,
affection for him, but simply for his posi-
ton and money, while st the
time she has really been II
love with another man who VIA:
not in sufficiently good pecuniary posi-
ton to marry her. Her position is mos
dangerous one, and in many cases where
the husband is careless, tectless snC
selfish 1t leads TO but one inevitable re
suit, however good the wife's resolution:

ried her for her beauty and because sh,
will look well at the head of his table snC
as the chatelaine of his country house
and also because at the time he is daZ

and ways Of passing her time. SIT
naturally comes across her old admirer
whom she could not marry, and il take!
an amount of moral courage that all dc
not possess not TO cross the line with the
only man she has really given her hear

is the cause Of many such a misfortune

questions of heart and affection beins
entirely relegated into the background
There are some young married
women who have not even the excuse Of
a grander passion, but who not being
happy in their own married life, are
envious and iealous Of young couples who
seem to be SO; these lay themselves GU,

take them away from their wives, simply
from malice. The husbands in many
